Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a preeminent comprehensive cancer center in New
York, New York, is recruiting for postdoctoral trainees to join its Psycho-Oncology Research
Training Program. We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral research fellowship candidates for
mentored research training in the psychological and behavioral aspects of cancer. Supported by
a NIH T32 Institutional Research Training grant from the National Cancer Institute, fellows gain
expertise in all aspects of research, including health communication, grant writing and
management, career development, supervision of research assistants, data management, liaison
with multidisciplinary co-investigators, data analyses, and dissemination of findings via oral
presentations and manuscript preparation. The postdoctoral fellowship provides a one-year
renewable (maximum three), research practicum. In addition, support for housing, childcare,
travel, and training-related expenses (i.e., health care benefits) are provided.
The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences was established in 1977 and currently
has 49 full-time faculty members. Faculty members available to serve as postdoctoral fellow
mentors have expertise in topics including genomic medicine and health decision making,
bereavement and palliative care, cancer prevention, immigrant health and cancer disparities,
tobacco control and treatment, caregiving, patient-provider communication, neurocognitive
effects of cancer therapy, and addressing needs of aging adults. Fellows are matched with
one to three mentors with established research programs based on expertise and
interests. Our research portfolio includes programs across the cancer continuum with
opportunities to conduct clinical, behavioral, translational, community based and/or
health equity research. Multi-disciplinary collaborations within the institution and
community-based organizations are well established and allow strong ties to community
populations.
Stipends and benefits are highly competitive (based on training and years of
experience) and housing is available for trainees.
Minimum Education/Experience Required Doctorate in psychology, public health, or a related behavioral/social sciences field is required. Prior experience conducting clinical or community-based research related to health, and strong quantitative skills preferred. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until all training slots are filled. Applicants must be U.S. citizen or permanent residents.
Appointment/Requirements Applicants will be appointed as Research Fellows through Graduate Medical Education. To apply, E-mail: psyrsrchfellw@mskcc.org a cover letter summarizing your research interests/experiences, curriculum vitae, and at least three professional references.
